Y3. 4 Tuesday, December 6,1864. _ - .; SHERMAN! , Gen. Sherman, -whose parents long were residents of Norwalk,‘and whose older broth- er was born in the house where Mrs. Nathan Beers now resides—this man is to-day at‘ tracting a more intense interest both in Eu- rope and America than any other being on the inhabitablé‘" globe. Whatever may be fluid of Grant, or other military leaders, this war has developed no such brilliant genius in military planning and execution as this . same Gen. Sherman. A few weeks ago: with almost profound secrecy, he moves ofi‘ his Corps of fifty thousand me'n,‘and with arm and ammunition for fifty thousand more, he cuts loose from his own base—pen- etrates the heart of the enemy’s country, and according to our best and only means of in- formation—the rebels themselves—he is, now successfully marching on tide water, laying waste the enemy’s lines of teleg mph, railroad, depots of supplies, and sweeping in his slaves by thousands, whither they had been congregated to ensure their safety.— The rebels issue frantic “orders,”—appeal to every one to spring to arms to save their homes from the invader. Yet they do not respond, and thus far the invader sweeps along his mapped-out course, as the comets sweep the heavens, unopposed and unresist~ ed. All loyal hearts throb with unwonted anticipation of the final development, and the hopeful and firm of faith see in it already sure auguries of success, and of a staggering, deadly blow to this wicked, cruel, brutal re« bellion. God speed its full and thorough accomplishment. a.» The beautiful in and around us. How many there are in Norwalk who can discourse flippautly of the wild and beautiful scenery of the Catskills,the Hudson,the Erie line, the Altoona Pass, the western Mississip- pi, the Thousands Islands, Saginaw, Lake George, Conn. River Valley, Berkhsire Hills, White Mountains, &c., and some even who have traversed the shores of Lake Come, the banks of the Rhine, the Seine and The mes -—and yet how few of those living in our own midst have any adequate idea or the faintest conception of the surpassing loveliness of a moonlight view of our islands, valleys, and waters, from Stewart’s Hill, of a prospect from the Books, from Step Hill, grouping in our harbor waters, studded with green Is- lands like emerals set in choicest gems; then our hill, our dale and plain, our woods, and last though most picturesque of all, our Normal]: Hoar. Reader, did you ever trace its zizzag lines, fringed with vine clematis and alder, and watch its pebbled ed- dies and hear the surpassing music of its rip. pling as it goes swiftly, murmuring, sing- ing to the sea. If not yet enjoyed, give Orange Mountain, Central Park, the go-by, till you have feasted your eyes of these our own simple, yet rare and unapproachable ru- ral beauties. * The town has just ordered the opening of a new and undeveloped claim in this three. tion, in its action Saturday week. A wide avenue is to be thrown open from the west side of New Bridge, on the New Canaan road, down beside the pulling waters of our river, and coming out at the head of that beautiful sheet of water—the Union Co.’s pond. We presage a new pleasure and a new delight in this public improvement.— We hope, however, the end is not yet reached. «<0». Agricultural Meeting. We urge upon all interested in our Coun- ty Agricultural Society, to attend the Annu- al Meeting to be held at Lockwood’s Hall,on Wednesday morning of this week. We trust that our Committee have received suf- ficientencouragement from the citizens of 4 this town, to be able to make a liberal offer for the permanent location of the Fair at Norwalk. Seecall ofmeeting. «Obs Ball. Phoenix Engine and Bose Companies have decided to hold their Sixth annual Ball at Lockwood’s Hall, on the evening of Thursday, the 15th inst. The Balls given by “Phoenix” have always been of a high order, and the present committees are re- solved to maintain the reputation of the Company, and make this in every respect a first class Ball. . W WGen. Fcrry’s Head-Quarters: are now at Chambersburg, Pa., his Department hav- ' ing been enlarged. v ' Boston, Hartford dc Eric R. B. We learn that the Boston,Hartford &. Erie . Railroad Company have leased the New York and Beston ' ‘Air Line Road, and that _ a meeting of the Stockholders of the two Corporations is to be held next week to con-' elude the contract. This will ensure the building of, the B., H. & Erie through to Fishbill. It is now probable that the upper route through New Milford will be the one built, as it has been found by recent surveys to be much shorter and less expensch. If this route is adopted we suppose that an ap- plication will be made to the next Legisla- ture for a charter to extend the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad to New Milford. With the Danbury & Norwalk road extended to New Milford, passengers from that section of Litchfleld County could during the whole year leave home at a scasonable hourrn the morning, havevnearly all their business por- tton of the day in New York, and be home : again the same evening. . ~<.>.

He has now alarge, and comforta- ble office, and one convenient for his busi- ness. «sf-J. Irv The Lectures. It is but seldom that the people of Nor- walk are favored with a course of scientific Lectures, and we have never listened to more able, instructive and entertaining Lec- tures than those now:heing delivered at Lock- wood’s Hall, by Prof. Richards. Th‘ese lec- tures are not dull and prosy in tlleleast but are crowded with brilliant experiments, which for startling and wonderful effects eclipse the best feats of modern Préstidigita- teurs. The Lectures already given have been fairly attended, but if our people gener- ally realized ;the value and interest of these Lectures the Hall would be Well filled for the remainder of the Course. .<.p.._____ CHANGE OF TIME—The Winter Arrange- ments of the New York &. New Haven and -Danbury & Norwalk Railroads, went into effect to-day, (Monday). An important change has been made on the New Haven Road, and one which will be a special con- venience to Norwalk people. Hereafter, the morning Ezpress from New York to New Haven, will st0p at Norwalk. This change has long been demanded by the public, and we are glad that the ofiicers of the Road have finally yielded to the demand. Every train new stops at Norwalk. The Horse Railway Time table is changed to correspond, commencing to-day. Mou- day mornings, during the Winter, cars will run in connection with the Norwalk special, leaving the Depot up-town at 5.40. This trip will not pay, but is made for the accom- modation of those who spend Sunday in town but are obliged to return by first train on Monday. For the new Time Tables see third page. «0» MUSI‘ERED onr.—Lieut. Joseph P. Cross- man, Co. E., 12th Regiment, of Norwalk has been mustered out of the servrce, his term of service having expired. Lt.

Taylor was elected Presi- dent, sixteen years ago, he did not receive a. single electoral vote from the States lying north and west of the Ohio river. President Lincoln carried them all four years ago, but many of them by meager majorities. But this year he has in these States a popular majority of 246,000, and 103 electoral votes. This immense vote is significant. It effectu- ally disposes of the idea of a North-western Confederacy and extinguishes the Knights of the Order of St. Vallandigham. .<.-.

[We are permitted to print the closing ' h f Rev. 0. W. Gates‘ Sermon paragrap so upon OUR. preached on Thanksgiving day, NATIONAL STRUGGLE HINGED UPON THE AID on THE INVINCIBLE RESERVE, from the text, Rev. 3, 11. “ Behold I come quickly.”] To you, fellow citizens, your God and your father’s God, has intrustcd a rich and Sacred legacy. Your hands grasp a price- less inheritance. Yc are'stcwards of com- municated blessings, which are yours to en- joy, not to abuse; yours to guard, not to surrender; yours ‘to' keep, not to cast-away; yours to transmit, not to squander. Hold fast then, and hold on. Keep your crown though wily flattery seek and exacting pow- er nemand it. Your labor will not be lost- Results will warrant the expenditure. If the ark ofLiberty falls from your guardian hands whose will take it up and bear it forward? If democratic institutions fail in your trust by whom shall they again arise? If when such a golden opportunity comes, Freedom is not made universal shall we not all merit a most degrading bondage? Let me entreat you then by the past shame and confusion we have experienced—by the gloomy fears that have assailed—by the many-hued con- jectures that have plagued—by the overmas- tering solicitude that has perplexed—by the merciful interpositions shown—by the suc- cess granted—by the victories won—by the progress made and the glowing hopes awa- kened— by the memories of your valiant dead,the destinies of your children, the peace of your homes and the interests of of gene- rations to come—cling to what you have gained, to what God has given, and with an impartiality as unflinching as truth await the result, the coming of the Invincible Reserve, and with a resistance as stern as justice spam the efiorts of all who would take your crown. Heaven has been putting you to the proof by the wise delay of your Reserve Force, Nor yet, perhaps, is the trial hour ended. Take courage. Be patient. The bush though wrapped in flame is not consumed. I: is bread corn that is bruised. It is the pearl oyster that grows when broken. The threshing floor is being purged but precious wheat will not be blown away with worth- less chafi‘. It is an hour of temptation. To yield is easier than to resist, but is it better. To retake a crown is harder than to cast it away—harder than to hold it. Will- you keep yours ? Remember that this war has a religious history. Your days of humiliation and prayer, your appeals to God, your messages to Him as your Power in Reserve, have'bee'n followed by signal deliverances and deci- sive victories. Is there no connections be- tween the prayer day in August and the triumph day in November? God. the Mighty One. came to your help and rescue. Recall the position of three months ago. There was then a strange prostration of in- terest in the affairs of the nation. Our armies had gained no recent victories. Gold was at the highest figure. The wisdom of rulers was baffled. The confidence of the people, even of the God-fearing wavered. A kind of paralysis unnerved the arm of the strong. The hearts of the brave melted and became as water. Nothing but sad disaster and ill. boding change seemed to impend. Just at this time the Chicago Convention convened, and those disloyal'speeches were made those two-faced resolutions were : shaky platform was constructed .. tried men put upon it. Then as the summer days of Aug. 1864, came to an end the result was heralded to the nation and the waiting world. - The last days of Aug. 1864 was the time to make those speeches, write these resolutions, arrange that plat- form and select those men. One month ear- lier it had been an impossibility. So bad it been an impossibility one month later. Then the “Golden Circle" of conspiracy was in- tact. Then the hopes of Rebel sympathi- zers were high. Then it was that Horatio Seymour was in fine spirits, far more jubi- lant and enthusiastic than when he wrote his recent Thanksgiving Proclamation. ' Then it was that Auguste Belmont wailed elo- quently over the financial ruin of the land, while he sported in his $25,000 turn out, and was ready to bet lavish thousands upon the issue of the election. This man turned away from the ballot-box on the 8th of Nov. with his forfeited vote, being denied the. privilege alowed to the humblest law-abiding citizen, Impressive illustration of the glory of our free institutions. God permitted that season of darkness to come that those men might speak with their tongues, write with their fingers, 'and do with their hands what was in their hearts to speak, write and do. ' What is spoken, writ- ten, done, cannot be denied, blotted out, re- called. They planted,themselves upon their chosen position. They lifted their banner and made their earnest, crying appeal to the people. They argued their case and then submitted it to the decision of the impan nel. ed jury. The verdict you know. A majori- ty in favor ofthe Republic of 192 "electoral votes, and a popular majority of 400,000. Our God hath done it. The Invincible Re- serve camc to our help. We rallied and were victorious. We said, “Not So," to those who were urgingthe insulting demand. “ Remove the diadem and take off the crown.” We said, “ Not So,” to the vandal Shishaks who would plunder without mercy the treas- ures 0f the Republic and steal our “Shields of gold." Heaven, we asserted, has not im- posed the humbling necessity, that we sit- down in the ashes of contempt, clad in the sackcloth of reproacb,.aud bewail our degre- dation, crying out for very shame. “ The crown has fallen from our heads.” The peo- ple still are king. They have triumphantly vindicated their royalty. They have given their sovereign word. And “ where the word of the king is there is power.” ’ The long contest must soon end. The trembling scale is already inclined. It turns decidedly under the weight of righteousness, truth and equity. The decision will be final; the result for all time. Up then with the banner of Freedom and rally with fresh cour- age around itl Up with the inspiration of your noble work and in the name of God do it. Away with short-sighted policies, nar- row views and insignificant prejudices, and “On, right onward for the right. 0n! let all the soul within you, For the Truth's sake go abroad ! Strike 2 let every nerve and smew Toll on ages—tell for God.” - Yes, thou Almighty helper, thou invisible, invincible reserve, our eyes are turned to- ward Thee. Our faithawaits Thy coming and relies upon Thy help. In Thy name we guard our blessings. In thy name we will hold fast our crown. Religion and Pat- riotism shall both have a place in our thoughts. Take us, and claim this Nation as Thine own. . . Fellow citizens, I have faith that our God is writing out for us a new lease for a pro: longed national life. He 'is writing it not with ink and upon frail paper, not upon-per; 'ishaolc parchment, not upon lasting tablet, but with citizen blood, and upon the very land itself, by its mountain ranges, upon its broad and fertile plains, by the rivers that intersect and upon the ocean waters that wash it. It is but alittle longer-,1 hope, that we must guard from traitor hands our crown before we shall receive the new-sign- ed and heaven-approved privilege of a ren0‘ vated healthful lite. Meanwhile we must ,.. ,..,. “Ram“, .' J w, a... . . .. 3.. order. not swerve nor falter. We must show the spirit of Maj. Gen. Howard’s soldiers, who, 1 after the hard fought battle of Chattanooga, having pursued 'the flying foe 120 miles were toiling, worn and weary, along their return march. by HowardLaEd then sent to know it‘ the Commanding General was willing. “ No,” was Howard’s quick reply, “Marchjorward to Tungsten Station, march." It was dark-— it was cold—it was stormy—but those noble, patient fellows turned out, and in obedience to orders marched singing to Tungston Sta- tion. The place chosen for rest was an im- proper one. The General kncw it; the men did not. This was the reason for his severe He loved his' men and consulted their good, not their present case. Our Com- mander On High is wiser than we are. He knows what is for our good. He loves us and cares for us, therefore He has not sufler- ed as to sleep in spots of our own choosing. “March forwar- ” has been His order. And so we have gone through darkness and storm, seeking the appointed place of rest. Press on, patiently, and without complaint ! March all the way “ singing I” . Sit down by the couch of a dying soldier in the City Point Hospital and learn how. There lies a gallant fellow who has been as. verely wounded. - His field marches are ended. His solemn hfe march is almost done. He has fallen in one struggle, but is now to triumph in the last great struggle by the aid of the Invisible Reserve. “ Are you prepared to die t” inquired the Chaplain. There was no audible reply. He could not speak. He motioned for pencil and paper, and with tremulous hand wrote, “I am pre- pared to go to Heaven; my trust in Jesus Christ is perfect," and underneath this assur- ance that death had no terrors and the grave no gloom, he wrote, “ Come rally round the flag boys.” The Chaplain took the paper and read aloud what the dying soldier had written. Up sprang a fellow soldier and waving his lrandless arm began the song his comrade had suggested. A thousand voices took up the chorus and the abode of suffer- ing rang with the echos of melodius song. 0n the strains of that union music the trust_ ing soul of that sun-burnt wounded soldier was borne upward to that peaceful, beautiful land where no hospitals are needed, where no pains are endured, where no tears are shed, where no graves are dug, where no wars are waged, where Freedom is uunivcr- so] and Right absolute. Suchafaith will enable us to march for- ward singing until the land has rest from .war. . Oh, remember in your prayers, your sym- pathies and benefactions your Soldier-broth- ers. Remember too the massage of Him who says, “ Behold I come quickls.” Repose in Him a perfect trust! Do well the duties of these passing days, and when Thanksgiving day of the year of grace 1865 shall come, may a landunitcd, peace restored and souls saved, be thekey note of our grateful song. 0‘.-. - For the Gazette. Clerical Loyalty. In my last communication, 1 gave assu- rance that I would not again trespass upon your columns; and but for the charge by S. B. S. B., that I had falsified an‘historical event, I should abide that determination. S. B. S. B. asserts that I “misrepresent his- tory” in saying that Dr. Plumer was the ad- vocate, if not the author, of the resolution that divided the Presbyterian Churcb'at Phil- adelphia, in 1837, and in support of his asser- tion, refers to the action of Eccleastical bod- ies in Virginia. Who had alluded to Presbyteries or Sy- nods in Virginia? The gentlemen has such a propensity for the “ Old Dominion” that this is the second or third time he has invi- ted us down there to listen to his ex- periencc. _ . It is unfortunate that his vote at West Hanover, should have availed nothing at Philadelhhia. ‘ It is not wits the Synodof Virginia, but the General Assemblyof the Presbyterian .Churcb, that we have to do; and I now re- peat, that Dr. Plumer was the prime mover in that transaction; more arbitrary and ty- rannical than any act the history of the Church records. That the'whole weight Of his influence was brought to bear in its fa- vor; and that without it it could not have been passed. , The quibble, upon which S. B. S. B. bases his contradiction of my statement, is disen- genuous, and unworthy of him. He knows, as well as I do, that the ofi'ehce of the four synods was their connexion with Con» gregationalists, and their opposition to sla- very, which had begun to show itself in their Presbyteries. The prextext, which I am aware was made to some extent, that they were unsound in the faith, Was too flimsy to find favor with intelligent men anywhere; and which subsequent history has blown to the winds; for whbere shall we find more devo- ted piety or elevated patriotism than that section of country has‘exhibited in the last twenty-five years. In the General Assembly of 1836 a delegate from one of the Southern States” remarked, that the “connexion be- tween Presbyterians and Congregationalists at'the North was an unnatural alliance and never should have been assented to.” In 1837, a year later, a delegate from an- other southern State said,“Unless our North- ern Presbyteries can purge themselves of the New England element, which seems to be spreading, I for one, want no further inter- course with them." Rev. Dr. Spring, who voted for the exscinding act, and of which he has long since repented, said publicly. that his vote upon that occasion, was grounded upon the abolitionism of the Churches. ' Against this mass of testimony, S. B. S. B. pleades the statute of limitation—speaks of it as the “ corpse of a Theological controver': sy that was buried long ago." The gentleman forgets that that he had introduced us to the Dr. four years previous. Perhaps we can rt. fer to something of later date, and, that too, without “robbing the grave." In May 1862, one year'after the commencement" of the war, the O. S. General Assembly met at Rochester, N. Y. Patriotic resolutions were introduced and advocated by the venerable Dr Spring and others and; passed by a large majority. Against the passage of those res- olutions Dr. Plumer lrrade a speech ; said, by one of the secular papers of that day, to be an offensive one. When the question was about to be taken , the Dr., to avoid the odi- um that would attach to a negative vote at home (Allegany City), abruptly left the house. 'His position however reached the west be fore he did; and combined with previous disloyal acts, caused such action on the part of the Church authorieties, and the Trustees of the Seminary, as rendered necessary his removal from Western Pennsylvania. ' - And new, if there are those who believe [I am a willing witness in this matter; that I have any “political or denominational feeling of revenge” (as alleged), to indulge, they mis- take me_altogether._ . . . I owe no ill will to Dr. Plumer, and but for . the ofllciousness of .a‘slngle individual, the allusions .19 his build”?! gravid prob- have been avoided. ,. l‘l From the first,I have felt that the Commit- tee made a grave mistake, in employing hip; . fl; . , . .. ~m~:‘r~—:.-4‘V,V.7 ‘. 11...? .,,1.,5m),,_r,>.y, , , Night came on and the division ' commander permitted them to encump for ; the night, somewhat short of the post named i Q for the fall, and winter, without consulting the Church or Congregation.

Editors, in the gcnllcmanly “summing up" of your correspondent, that requires any notice ‘ from me. If the gentleman himself is satis- ficd with his article, I ought not to complain. How far such a tirade comports with min- isterial dignity, and courtesy, I leave to oth- ers to decide. We accept as proof of loyalty, the fact, that the gentleman has a son in the service of his country, and trust the public willfully appreciate the great sacrifice involved in the surrender of that son to the care of the Gov- ernment.

The enemy made a heavy persistent at- tack with about two corps, commencing at about four o’clock in the aftornoon, and last- ing until after dark, anh was repulsed at all points with very heavy loss, probably five or six thousand men. Our loss was probably not more than one tenth of that number.— We captured about one thousand men, in- cluding one Brigadier General. [signed] SCHOFIELD. NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 1—9z30 p. m. About noon on Wednesday our main army reached Franklin. when Gen. Schofield pre- pared to give the enemy battle. There was very little skirmishing, as Hood’s object was to attack us before we had time to throw up defensive works. About 4 o‘clock the enemy commenced ad- vancing on our lines, when the ball was opened by our batteries shelling their ad- vance, and soon after a regular cannonading opened along the whole line. The rebels, who had been protected by woods, now emer- ged from cover, and opened with afierce v01- ley of musketry along the lines and then charged. For a moment part of our line wa- vered and fell back before the desperate charge of the enemy, who had crossed over our abandoned line of works. The rebels were now fighting with the des- peration of demons, charging our line furi- rfiusldy, some leaping ‘our"‘works and fighting ar . Now was the critical moment, and our Generals, rallying their troops, swung on the rebel flank, doubling them in the center, where our artillery and, musketry mowed them down by hundreds. The tide was now turned. Our men,inspired with success, gave a wild huzzah and sWept back on the rebels like an avalanche, hurling the enemy back in the wildest disorder and confusion. . Night was now settin in, yet we followed up our advantages. “ghat once threatened to be a disastrous defeat was turned into a glorious victory. The courage of our officers and the desperate bravery of our men was unexampled. Our loss is about seven hundred killed and wounded. We captured over 1,000 prison- ers and eight battle flags. Two rebel Briga- dier Generals-are in our hands. A rebel di- vision General was left on the field mortally wounded. The rebel loss in killed and woun- ded is estimated at 3,000. . The rebel Generals Cheatham and Lee's corps were engaged. The brunt of the bat- tle on our side fell on the 2d division of the 4th corps. «Q»?— The Atlantic for December.

CHICAESTER. n0v15 *3 From the above it would seem that Morse the editor of the Farmer South, is financier- ing among the “ dear southern brethren," a la “ Fire and Marine Insurence 00,”. Mr. Chichester is a stranger to us, and undoubt- edly a rebel against the Government, but we feel sorry for him, under the double trial of ublishiug a paper and having to deal with orse. We hope the 0hrom’caland Sentinel has paid expenses during the copartnersbip, and that Mr. Chichester has managee to get his share in the business. Perhaps Morse, being engaged in extending the circulation of the Farmer, finds it inconvenient to have a partner whose interest is not identical with his own in a double copartnership. “ No settlement has taken taken place be- tween Mr. Morse and myself." Of course not ! his accounts always run. We know of one that run from Bridgeport way down into Georgia. - We would make a suggestion for Mr. Chi Chester’s benefit; that become North and go in with the old firm—tire “ O'rininal Ja- cobs." Possible “ Morse," with this under- standing, Inigbtbe induced to do his late partner 'ustice. Take the first " gravel train” North, Chichester,—come to Bridge- port. You will find a large sign reading “Pomcroy & Morse.“ Enter the premises. This is the same “Morse"—Nathan him- self.

Mr. Chichester is a native of Norwalk and so far as “ settling affairs" are concerned, belong to up entirely different breed of animals from Nathan, while his loy- alty is not a whit less shaky. Chichester ,was once a noble fellow, but like Nathan is now f ast joined to hrs secession idols.— Yet our recollection of his halcyon boyhood is all too pleasant notrto‘ have it cause us an additional pang of regret, that. besides help; ing t0 sustain a tottering Ie‘bellionJle'bas met the additional misfortune of being " as; sociated" with Nathan. .. ww'l%1’.m§§b7'w“§”¢ There is nothing more I believe, Messrs. : :.':~:‘r"r'~nw_ erg/W ‘f . 1 Vim'snmrsiaanwmsfl“ ‘~"' ‘ ' “v“ "‘zrzws-rvw ‘ ———-It is significant that the only prominent 2 hotel ill the metropolis that was not fired on Friday night. was ”to New York Hotel, the general rendezvous ofthe secessionists.

Sansarw RILLA or our family, by stating the circum- stances undcr which it was taken and its ef- fects. 9‘ When our only child, now in his third year, was about eight months old, a sore ap- peared first in small pimples on his forehead over his nose. These rapidly increased and uniting formed it loathsome, virulent sore, which finally spread over his forehead and face, not even excepting his eyelids, which became. SUSWOllBD that his eyes were closed. We called a skillful physician, who adminis- tered the usunll y prescribed remedies. A solution of nitrate of silver was applied until the mass of' corruption which covered his entire face turned jet black. Tire sore again and again burst through the scorched and artificial skin formed by the solution. Mean- while llrlrny remedies were employed with- out any apparent bencfit. For fifteen days and nights be was constantly held by his parents to keep him from tearing open with his hands the corrupt mass winch covered his face. ' . ' .. _ . .'

Another bottle effected an entire cure, and the gener- al prediction that the child must die was contradicted. His eyelashes which came out grew again, and his face is left without a scar, as srnmlll as anybody’s . It is unneces- ear for me to state in how high esteem we hold Aum's Sausaranrnna." .. ..-._. .W..- @The J.

It is the duty ofthe Boards of Enrollment to have copies of the lists open to public ex- amination, to revise and correct the same and to make frequent returns to the War: Department. Tire quota assigned to each sub district will be based upon the returns made next previous to the assignment and in proportion to the number of men enrolled. An assignment may be made simultaneous- ly with a call for men, hence the necessity of making immediate corrections. It is for the interest of the residents of each sub-district to have stricken from the. list all names ilnproperly enrolled, because an excess of names increases the quota called for from cachsub-district. It is for the in- terest of enrolled men to have placed upon the list the names of all persons liable to military duty, because the number to be drawn from the less the chance that any particular person will be drafted. The Boards are authorized to erase the names who have served two years during the present war and been honorably discharg- ed, also, of those who are not liable to duty on account of ailenagc, non-residence, over- age, or permanent physical disability. They are required to add to the enrollment already made the names of those who have arrived at the age of twenty years, of those who have taken up their residence in the sub-dis- trict, of all who have been in the’ military or naval service less than two years during the present war, and all foreigners who have recently been made electors, or declared their intention to become citizens. This duty of correcting the enrollment is urged in order to secure, in the event of another call for troops, a just share of service from men legally liable, and to relieve any town from furnishing more than its equitable propor- tionof men.
